10 Colorful & Inspiring Kitchens from Our Readers

Our sister site Apartment Therapy is running their Room for Color contest, an annual celebration of color in the home in all its incarnations, from soft and subtle to bold and bright. And of course we're most interested in the kitchens, so we went looking for our favorite kitchens in this contest. Want to see what we found?

There's a bright, modern kitchen done up in chartreuse, and a sleek space with a pop of red in the kitchen rug. There's a bold blue and brown kitchen, and another inspired by a Tiffany jewel box. Another kitchen reminds me of a Penguin paperback book. All use color in interesting ways; it's amazing what a little paint can do! Come take a peek into all 10 of these colorful, real-life kitchens.
